10/9 Hi, just looking to see if there's anyone out there like me. Are you tired of being taken advantage of because you have a good heart? Then you are like me. Are you kind and compassionate? Then you are like me. Are you open minded about life? Then you are like me. Are you out there?

10/10 I am new to this and really don't know the "protocol" of sites like this. I don't know what's proper or rude so I am taking a bit of time looking around the site and seeing what's up. Trying to figure out what all the buttons are for.
So many people gawking at the lady behind the no picture. I am working on a pic. But, ugh, I take a horrid pic and none I have are suitable. I have to look my best right?
I check my email everyday, but sometimes I don't have time to reply. I am not really an internet kinda communicator. I don't have IM experience so you have to be patient.
I am just past recovery from a devastating break up 8 months ago and my girl friend told me I HAVE TO TRY THIS OUT. So, I am dipping my toes in the water. Just don't want to drown! So, I am forcing myself to do this. Why, because I deserve someone kind and considerate to share life with and no one has come knocking on my door lately.
I am a very versatile type of person, so my interests vary. I moved to PA from MN in '01. I was in the MN/WI area for about 5 years. While there I was with a very outdoorsy type of person and spent all of my spare time learning and doing the outdoors things. I became extremely fond of bass fishing. He had a rinky dinky boat that I spent most of my spare time in the boat fishing for bass in season. Walleye in the spring on the Mississippi. Trolling for northerns in between. I loved it. Of course, I cannot replace that hobby here in PA without the 10,000 lakes. Nor do I have a rinky dinky boat. I iced fished when the weather got icy. I deer hunted for 4 seasons, turkey hunted for 3. I learned to trap and skin. Believe me, my friends back home were shocked as I was to know that I actually enjoyed it all. Some of my best times were spent during those years.

So, my interests vary according to the times, which is why one of the conditions of any type of relationship is with being with an open minded man. I am not a stereotypical woman, I am unique. I have "been there" and "done that" and have survived it all. My man will know all and be proud of me and my skills.

I love kids but nature provided me with natural birth control so I have none. I don't mind kids of any age but do not want to "compete", if you know what I mean. So, if you have kids, that's great IF you have a good healthy relationship with their mother and them.
That's all for now. I'll read this tomorrow and wonder what the heck I am doing, or trying to do. But for now. That's it.

10/9 Haven't dated in a while, so I'm not sure. I would like to find a man that is fun to shoot pool with and does not sulk at being beat.

10/10 Does that sound silly? I am not looking for someone to shoot pool with, but if you enjoy that, we do have something in common.

I can't exactly say that I would want to "date" without meeting in a public place for some conversation. I would suppose that would be the first step. I must say that I feel uncomfortable advertising for a man on a web site!
